      - I can get long winded, but the jist of it is this: I understand what you are saying about change. But there are certain positions in certain places, - crash davis Nov 14, 14:33 3
        
        Well said. Change doesn't only mean totally different people, it's also change of the tone of politics. Inclusivity is one of those changes. - musubi Nov 14, 14:48

    - She's great at what she does; not Sec State imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:25 6
      - You're being disingenuous with this one. If you thought she was good enough for POTUS, you think she's good enough for SoS. -- nm - David Nov 14, 14:28 4
        
        No, I'm not. I don't think her vision for the world is the same as the person she'd be rep'ing. - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:31 3
        
        SoS is an even better gig than VP. After Chief of Staff, it's THE position in the executive branch. How is that a supporting role? -- nm - David Nov 14, 14:35 2
        
        I didn't particularly want her as VP. - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:39 1
        
        I also say it was dumb for him to not reach out and make her clearly a VP candidate since she was so vital a force. - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:57
      - Oh, got it, thanks. -- nm - nubby Nov 14, 14:26

- Aw, ain't it sweet? -- nm - nubby Nov 14, 14:10
kilbo: I've thought about doing that. Might break the mobile compatibility, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 14:03 8
- While it sounds good, I have a hard time imagining how it would functionally work in this type of threaded system -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 14:05 7
  - *shrug* It would work fine ... kind of like Digg's live feed, but with an occassional swish as the board rolls -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 14:06 6
    - We're going to need sound effects then :) -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 14:13
    - I don't need nothin' fancy. Just an auto-reload every minute or so. - nubby Nov 14, 14:09 4
      - and new posts since then marked in light blue -- nm - M Nov 14, 14:11 3
        
        This is one that I'd like to do, but I'm unsure of the quickest way (code-execution-wise) to implement it -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 14:14 2
        
        How about a line near the top of the page, that says "See only posts from the last [box] minutes." You type of number into the box, and the page - mara Nov 14, 14:24 1
        
        Well, I guess the "only" isn't necessary. -- nm - mara Nov 14, 14:25
Okay, that is a lot better. Thanks, everyone. (Question 2 forthcoming...) -- nm - David Nov 14, 14:02 6
- AHHHH! Why are the TT couples continually posting as each other?!? -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 14:06 5
  - *shrug* -- nm - JackDawson Nov 14, 14:10
  - It's quite unnerving. Don't people have their own computers? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 14:08 3
    - they could use different browsers .. -- nm - M Nov 14, 14:14 1
      - Firefox also supports user profiles. As does Windows itself. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 14:19
    - My wife and I do. I would *never* post here on her computer -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 14:13
Jax, I asked yesterday if I could email the papers, and the girl said no. I scan & email images all the time -- nm - peglegpete Nov 14, 14:02

  - She'll be thrilled. "Is that Will or the dog?" -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:03 1
    - and if you have problems with beans (you know what I mean), you now have someone to blame it on -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 14:05
  - "clear Will's handle off" -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 14:02 7
    - *clears Will's handle off* - crash davis SI #31 Nov 14, 14:05 6
      - I see a side benefit of advanced grad degrees is that everything can be made into a euphemism. - crash davis Nov 14, 14:06 5

        don't let him bait you! -- nm - peglegpete Nov 14, 14:11 2
        
        He's a master at that, though. -- nm - mara Nov 14, 14:13 1
        
        Wait... are you calling me a... - nubby Nov 14, 14:18
- Hee! I think most dogs do, and big dogs snore louder. How much does he weigh? -- nm - mara Nov 14, 14:02 3
  - 75lbs as of now, he's a tad chunky. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:02 2
    - oh, he's gonna be a snorer. take him for lots of runs in the park, if he loses a couple pounds it might be better. -- nm - Andie - 40 shopping days till X-mas Nov 14, 14:04 1
      - Oh yeah, we're definetly going to be working him leaner. Vet tomorrow to find out how much leaner is best. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 14, 14:04
- hee. -- nm - Andie - 40 shopping days till X-mas Nov 14, 14:01
